The Islam Democrats in the Hague municipal council denounced the municipality decision to cancel separate swimming.

The mayor and aldermen said that people should meet other other while exercising, also men and women.

But the supporters of separate swimming, used mostly by Muslim women, said the decision was symbol-politics. The biggest opposition party in the Hague municipal council, the Christian Democrat CDA, does support canceling separate swimming. The party would also like to cancel nudist times.
